Doja Cat, born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini in Los Angeles. Signed to Kemosabe/RCA at 17 and put out her debut EP Purrr! through the label in 2014 - an early sign of the songwriting and production instincts that would carry her to a Grammy Award and more than 30 million records sold worldwide. Her sound spans hip-hop, pop and R&B, playful and genre-hopping, and 'No Police' catches that scrappy early period before hits like 'Say So' and 'Kiss Me More' broke her worldwide. Her fifth studio album, Vie, followed in September 2025, backed by the Tour Ma Vie World Tour.
